Chapter 820: Special Summer Festival

Summer Festival is a traditional festival in Japan, which is a series of activities or festivals held in summer, including fireworks and other activities.

On the day of the summer festival, the local government will hold a festival parade, the government and its private associations will hold many performances, people will wear beautiful kimonos, go shopping, participate in entertainment activities, etc.

And on this day, the surrounding stores will also be decorated with new decorations and various special activities will be held. Japan also has a tradition of enjoying cherry blossoms in spring and fireworks in summer.

Ryoshinyama, the secret base of the Super Peace Busters, of course, is now the temporary residence of Chen Anxia and Menma.

"Hey, Anxia, ​​Menma, are you ready? The summer festival has begun!!" Song Xueji shouted to the secret base in a simple and colorful light blue yukata.

Beside Song Xueji, Ancheng Mingzi and Tsurumi Chiriko were also wearing simple yukatas, standing there waiting.

After a while, Chen Anxia came out of the secret base wearing a sky blue yukata. Looking at the three people waiting for him outside the door, he said helplessly, "I say, you don't have to come up the mountain specially, just make an appointment."

Ancheng Mingzi immediately put his hands on his waist and said righteously, "That won't do. We are super peaceful busters. Of course, we have to participate in such a group activity together."

Speaking of the environment, Ancheng Mingzi's eyes were unconsciously attracted by Chen Anxia. Although Chen Anxia's appearance was only a little above average, Chen Anxia was a type that was pleasing to the eye, especially Chen Anxia's current temperament, which would attract attention invisibly.

Not to mention Ancheng Mingzi, Tsurumi Chiriko and Matsuyuki Shu on the side were the same. When they saw Chen Anxia coming out, they were slightly stunned.

However, because they were with Chen Anxia every day, they were very familiar with Chen Anxia's temperament, and everyone quickly came back to their senses.

At this time, Tsurumi Chiriko looked around strangely and said, "Strange, didn't Menma come out?"

Anjo Naruko and Matsuyuki Shu heard this and looked at Chen Anxia. They all knew that Menma could only be seen around Chen Anxia.

Matsuyuki Shu, Tsurumi Chiriko, and Anjo Naruko saw it more than once. When they watched Chen Anxia go away, Menma, who could be seen beside Chen Anxia, ​​would disappear after a certain distance.

Although they were very unwilling, they also knew that perhaps it was the bond between Chen Anxia and Menma that allowed Chen Anxia to see and even feel Menma. Whether it was holding hands or hugging, they could not do these things, and they could not even touch Menma.

When Chen Anxia heard this, he was about to say something when he saw a petite figure wearing a light blue yukata with flowers on it walking out of the secret base.

Needless to say, this figure was Menma.

As soon as Menma came out, she waved her hand and said, "Everyone, let's go to the summer festival!"

Looking at the excited Menma, Chen Anxia, ​​Matsuyuki Shu, Tsurumi Chiriko and Anjo Naruko couldn't help but smile at each other and followed Menma to the center of the summer festival.

On the way, Menma, Tsurumi Chiriko and Anjo Naruko walked in front, Chen Anxia and Matsuyuki Shu followed behind. Listening to the energetic and vigorous laughter of the girls coming from the front, Chen Anxia and Matsuyuki Shu's faces were very gentle.

Suddenly, Anjo Naruko seemed to think of something, and couldn't help looking at Menma and asked curiously, "Menma, you are a soul now, how can you change clothes? Can you change them just by thinking about it?"

Menma shook her head gently when she heard it, and said, "No, Menma also changes clothes like a normal person."

Tsurumi Chiriko couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, it's really magical."

......

Just like this, after chatting all the way, everyone finally arrived at the destination this time.

It is evening now, the busiest time of the summer festival. The central area is already crowded with people.

A temple fair is being held here, and all kinds of stalls are already set up on both sides of the wide street leading to the temple.

Looking at the scene, these stalls and shops are really dazzling, making people a little dazzled. Many people who have just arrived don’t know where to start shopping and where to start playing.

There are stalls selling snacks such as fried noodles, octopus balls, taiyaki, cotton candy, and apple candy.

There are stalls for activities such as scooping goldfish, scooping water balloons, hooping, and bidding.

There are also stalls selling wind chimes, folding fans, masks and other small commodities.

Not only that, there are lanterns hanging around this temple fair. The moment you enter here, it seems that you will have an illusion of going back in time.

Menma, Anjo Naruko, Tsurumi Chiriko and Matsuyuki are all attracted by this prosperous temple fair with dim lights, and their faces can’t help showing excitement and excitement.

Chen Anxia also looked at the temple fairs around him with some emotion. He hadn't seen such a scene for a long time.

After going to Tokyo, Chen Anxia never participated in any temple fairs or festivals again. He was working hard to collect the power of faith.

However, it was all worth it.

Looking at Menma who was happily running around between different shops with Anjo Naruko and Tsurumi Chiriko, Chen Anxia and Songxueji smiled.

"How are you all preparing?" Chen Anxia asked Songxueji.

"Everything is ready, no problem." Song Xueji nodded and said.

"That's good." Chen Anxia smiled and said.

As he said that, Chen Anxia looked at the gradually darkening sky and said, "It's almost time, Xueji, take them to that place, I'll make a phone call and arrange other things."

"Okay." Song Xueji nodded and walked directly towards Menma and the others.

As for Chen Anxia, ​​he followed behind and took out his mobile phone to make a call. Chen Anxia had to follow, because if Menma left a certain range around Chen Anxia, ​​Song Xueji and the others would not be able to see her.

Soon, the call was connected, and Chen Anxia said directly, "The time is almost up, please be sure to release the rocket fireworks on time."

After making this call, Chen Anxia made another call and said, "I want to confirm that everything is fine on the stage?"

After hearing the answer from the other end of the phone, Chen Anxia couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I really trouble you this time, thank you."

After everything was confirmed, Chen Anxia followed Menma, Songxue Shu, Tsurumi Chiriko and Anjo Naruko to the point that had been selected long ago.

Here, Chen Anxia had asked people to help stand in advance, in order to see the fireworks from the best angle.

As for how to ask people to help stand, well, there is something called money.

Soon after Chen Anxia, ​​Menma and others arrived at the designated location, the fireworks show really began.

The first firework to be launched was the rocket fireworks made by Chen Anxia, ​​Menma, Songxue Shu, Tsurumi Chiriko and Anjo Naruko.

This firework may be very simple in the eyes of others, the flying height is not high, and the effect of the firework is not good, but in the hearts of Chen Anxia, ​​Menma and others, it is indeed the most beautiful firework.

This firework, whether it is Chen Anxia, ​​Menma, Songxueshu, Tsurumi Chiriko, or Anjo Naruko, will remember it for a lifetime.

And this rocket firework is like a signal. In an instant, one after another bright fireworks are launched into the sky. This bright fireworks are overwhelming, and people can't help but show surprise and excitement on their faces.

These fireworks are like flowers blooming in the sky, competing to bloom, and the idiom "a hundred flowers compete for beauty" can also be used here.

Menma is also intoxicated by this bright firework, and her cute little face is full of reminiscence, excitement, and surprise.

When Menma was not paying attention, Songxueshu, Tsurumi Chiriko, and Anjo Naruko quietly retreated, and no one knew where they went.

When the last firework went up and the fireworks show ended, Chen Anxia reached out and held Menma's hand before Menma came to her senses, and led her to a place.

"Hey, Anxia, ​​where are we going?" Menma asked in confusion.

Menma looked around and asked in confusion, "Where are Xueji, Hezi and Anming? Where did they go?"

Chen Anxia did not explain, and quickly led Menma to a place. It was a temporary stage specially built for today's summer festival. Many performances were performed on it during the temple fair.

Of course, these performances were over when the fireworks show started.

As soon as Menma came here, she was attracted by the big screen on the stage, and she saw that it was a clipped version of the cartoon.

Watching the scenes of her past being presented on the screen in this way, Menma was completely stagnant, her mind was blank, and she had no idea how to react.

On it, there are scenes where everyone just met, scenes where everyone played hide-and-seek in the temple, scenes where everyone played video games together, scenes where Super Peace Busters was just established...

And the scene where Menma returned as a soul.

"What on earth is going on?" Menma couldn't help but whisper softly.

As she spoke, tears unconsciously slid down her eyes, and Menma didn't even know she was crying.

At this time, Chen Anxia pulled Menma onto the stage. The moment Chen Anxia walked onto the stage, the lights on the stage lit up instantly.

At the moment the lights came on, Menma saw Song Xue Shu, Tsurumi Chiriko, and Anjo Naruko, who had just disappeared, standing on the stage, each holding a microphone in their hands.

Soon, Chen Anxia also took a microphone.

A soothing, soft, and slightly sad accompaniment sounded, and pedestrians around gradually gathered around.

Most people are very familiar with this music, but Menma has never heard it. However, it is not important, because Menma saw three familiar figures right in front of the stage.

These three figures were looking at the stage with tears in their eyes. Menma knew that they were looking at herself, her father, her mother, and Congzhi. They were looking at herself.

At this time, Chen Anxia took the microphone and slowly sang "I promised you in the end of summer, the future dreams, the great hopes, don't forget, in August ten years later, I believe we can meet again and create the most beautiful memories together..."

At the same time, Song Xueshu, Tsurumi Chiriko and Anjo Naruko also picked up the microphone and sang this song for Menma together.

Tonight is a grand event dedicated to Menma!

This grand event includes encounters, reunions, touching, tears... and happiness!
